A rockslide occurred on Sunday evening, affecting national road 13 in Suldal, Rogaland, where a vehicle was struck by debris. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported, although one person was taken to the hospital for examination. According to the local police, traffic has been halted in both directions due to the slide, which was officially reported just before 8:48 PM. The incident highlights the risks associated with weather-related geological events in the region.

National road 13 serves as one of the two main alternative routes to and from Haugesund, particularly after another significant rockslide had previously blocked E 134 in Fjæra at Åkrafjorden. This closure is essential for local traffic, as many depend on these roads for commuting and transport. The police have stated that most debris has already been cleared but that a geologist needs to reassess the area in daylight before it can be reopened safely.

This incident raises awareness about the challenges of infrastructure reliability in Norway's mountainous regions, especially during the changing seasons when geological stability may fluctuate. As authorities update the public regarding road conditions and safety assessments, the community will be kept informed about potential delays and alternative travel arrangements in the wake of this incident.
